Yeah, that LLM that has been training for the last several years on literally billions of photos just needs your ALT text to figure out how to identify a picture. This is a myth, and it needs to go away.

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

the formative moments for the various deans of american political commentary were 1984 and 1994. nothing can break the conviction that republicans are the natural governing majority of the country.

The great thing about the USA is that any young girl who is blonde and has a first name beginning with K and is a huge fan of fascism can grow up to become press secretary.

The orphan grinding machine that I built, trained to grind orphans, and gave a detailed map of where to find all of the orphans it could grind, acting on its own, decided to grind up a bunch of orphans.

I would never watch such a barbaric, inhumane spectacle as a public execution. Well .... maybe one.

Their only interest is capital. They are empty people trying to fill their emptiness with money.

The rectangular folds on the jacket are an amazing accompaniment to the sizing sticker on the pants.

The projection is off the charts about the governor wanting to steal as much as he can. Ye gods.

My dad once told me "sure, universal healthcare works in other countries, but only because they are less diverse than the US, and it would not be possible to here." At the time, I couldn't parse what he meant. Boy do I understand where he was coming from now, and it's not pretty.

The right-wing idea is that somehow people cannot thrive amidst difference/diversity and cities demonstrate that they do and that lots of us find it enriching and rewarding to live among people who are not clones marching in lockstep. They treat diversity as a threat....

if Trump posts a trans slur on Truth Social which is aimed at you, and you say anything other than "can you guys fucking believe the President of the United States is out here posting trans slurs on Truth Social, fuck him into the sun for all eternity," you have failed the most basic of all tests

this is so bleak, actually imagine being called a slur for a group you don't even belong to and instead of going "wow holy shit, no one should have to put up with that, we need to hold people to account," you go "no guys it's okay I hate them too!!!" and just hand the bully your lunch money

Follow-up: Please show me a single ad for joining the armed forces that mention two mommies. Please show me any evidence that this ever occurred. Anything.
